0:00:41 > 0:00:45Today is my friend Daisy's birthday party. I'm so excited!

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Mummy and I are making gingerbread men.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52- They are Daisy's favourite. - Put 50 grams of flour into...

0:00:52 > 0:00:55First, we put the ingredients together into the bowl.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59We need about 125 grams of butter, about half of this.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Then some butter.- That's it. What does that feel like?

0:01:02 > 0:01:06- It feels all squidgy!- Doesn't it? Yeah. Ready? One, two, three...

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- METALLIC CLINK - Brilliant.- Ding!- Ding!

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- It's the brown sugar next. - There we go.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16And then were going to tip it into there. That's it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21That's it. That's lovely. Well done. OK, we'll pop that into there.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Good stuff. Right.- Now we add spoonfuls of ground ginger.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- That's one... - CLINK, CLINK, CLINK!

0:01:30 > 0:01:36- Good work. And...how many?- Two!- Two! Brilliant. Well done!

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- And an egg...which Mummy forgot in the fridge.- That's it.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Do you want to get the bowl? So, we need one egg to pop in here.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48Good. Well done.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Ooh...- Then we add some golden syrup.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Mmmm! My favourite!

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Pour in one... Give that a tip in. Good.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Then we blend them all together. It's loud!

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now we've got to pop this into the mixture,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06so that it makes it all stick together.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Mum says I'm a great chef assistant. - Mix it together.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Now we can roll them, ready to give them to Daisy for her party.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19We roll the dough flat. The dough is all gooey and sticky.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I love it!- Now, we're going to make a gingerbread man.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- You've got a little one as well. - We can make one for Fudge!

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Good idea! Give him a wiggle. - Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Good, ready?- Wow!- Well done!

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Let's do this one, right here. - A little one for Fudge.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Press it down... Pop him down onto the tray. There we go.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46OK, pop your little Fudge on. One at the top. There we go.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Brilliant! Are you happy?- Yeah.

0:02:49 > 0:02:54So, now we just need to put them in the oven, so they can cook. OK?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Aw, Fudge is sad because he wasn't invited to the party.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Don't worry, Fudge, I'll bring you back some cake

0:03:03 > 0:03:07and a gingerbread man, if there's any left!

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Yippee! They're baked!

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Mmm! Those smell delicious. - Oh, lovely.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Brilliant. Right, OK, let's pop the first one on.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Some little chocolate buttons there. - Yummy!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Now these are done, we just need to wait for them

0:03:24 > 0:03:26to set before we put them in the tin.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- What about the party? - We should be fine!

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- How about you listen to music to help you pass the time?- Yes, please!

0:03:33 > 0:03:36There is a piece which starts off very slowly

0:03:36 > 0:03:38and then gets very, very fast.

0:03:38 > 0:03:43It always makes me think of someone running. See what you think.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47'This is Zorba's Dance by Mikis Theodorakis.'

0:03:55 > 0:03:59I'm in a cottage with Fudge, making a gingerbread man,

0:03:59 > 0:04:02just like I did with Mummy!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Meow!

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Now, we have to wait for him to set.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26MUSIC SPEEDS UP

0:04:36 > 0:04:40The gingerbread man has come alive!

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Meow!

0:04:43 > 0:04:45MUSIC CONTINUES TO SPEED UP

0:04:47 > 0:04:51He's running around the house!

0:04:51 > 0:04:55He's jumped out the window! Come back, gingerbread man!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Come on, Fudge, let's try and catch him!

0:05:08 > 0:05:12He is a clever gingerbread man.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15The gingerbread man meets a cow.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17She wants to eat him!

0:05:17 > 0:05:19COW MOOS

0:05:21 > 0:05:23The gingerbread man meets a squirrel.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25He wants to eat him!

0:05:35 > 0:05:40Oh, no! A river! The gingerbread man can't go in the water!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I don't think he can swim.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48He tells the fox about a cow and a squirrel chasing him.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52The fox agrees to carry him across the river.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00COW MOOS

0:06:03 > 0:06:07- SHE GIGGLES - Meow!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12SPLASH!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20FISH SPLASH

0:06:27 > 0:06:32The Fox notices something - his chocolate buttons!

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Chocolate is his favourite.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37TEETH SNAP

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Better keep running, gingerbread man!

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Hee-hee-hee! He got away!

0:06:46 > 0:06:49MUSIC ENDS

0:06:49 > 0:06:53That music made me think of the story of the gingerbread man.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55What did it make you think of?

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- The gingerbread men are all set now, so we can go to the party.- Yay!
